Registration still open for the Partners Pink Run
Registration is still open for the Partners Pink Run to be held Saturday, Oct. 10, to benefit Partners for Breast Cancer Care.
Held at Bell Tower Shops in Fort Myers, the annual 5K raises funds to help Partners for Breast Cancer Care provide no-cost breast care to uninsured and limited-income women and men in Collier, Lee, Hendry, Glades and Charlotte counties.
Anchored by its “Early Detection Saves Lives” motto, the organization funds breast screening, diagnostic testing, treatment, surgery and care navigation for qualifying clients, with a mission to rule out or diagnose breast cancer as early as possible.
Participants can choose between a 5K run and a one-mile walk, both winding through Bell Tower Shops.
The 5K will begin at 8 a.m., followed by the one-mile walk at 8:10 a.m. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to the top three male and female racers and the top three male and female racers in each age group.
After the race, participants are invited to enjoy music and entertainment, refreshments and activities for all ages, including cornhole and Bra Pong. Partners for Breast Cancer Care merchandise will also be available.
Participants are encouraged to wear pink in honor of the fight against breast cancer.
